    I found this growing in a garden in the Helderbergs in NY. I was looking at the evening-primroses, but it doesn't seem quite right. Thank You,

    Answer

    Dear Auntie, You have photographed a member of the genus Oenothera (evening-primrose), but I can't see the necessary details to help you identify this plant. The four-parted stigma elevated above the anthers suggests this could be Oenothera glazioviana (garden evening-primrose).
